Today in history

Here are just some of the events on this date in the past.

•	On this day in 1935: Park-O-Meter No. 1, the world’s first parking meter, designed and created by Carl C. Magee, was installed on the southeast corner of First Street and Robinson Avenue in Oklahoma City.
•	In 1942: The Vel’ d’Hiv Roundup (Rafle du Vel’ d’Hiv) began as 13,152 Jews were arrested by the Vichy France government and held at the Vélodrome d’Hiver sports arena in Paris before being sent to their deaths at the Auschwitz concentration camp.
•	In 1945: The Manhattan Project successfully detonated the world’s first atomic bomb at Alamogordo, New Mexico. Brilliant scientific minds of the era, including Hans Bethe, Edward Teller, Enrico Fermi and J. Robert Oppenheimer – who directed the Los Alamos, New Mexico, branch of The Manhattan Project – came together in a race against Germany and the Soviet Union to build an atomic weapon. The following month, the world saw the first and only uses of a nuclear weapon in an armed conflict when atomic bombs were unleashed on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan.
•	In 1951: J.D. Salinger’s “The Catcher in the Rye” was published for the first time in novelized form by Little, Brown and Company, after being serialized six years earlier. Consistently listed as one of the best works of fiction in the 20^th century, the novel explored themes of innocence, identity, materialism, mental health and loss.
•	In 1969: The world watched as Apollo 11, NASA’s the first mission to set astronauts on the Moon, was launched from the Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island, Fla.
•	In 1999: John F. Kennedy, Jr., the only son of U.S. President John F. Kennedy and first lady Jacqueline Kennedy, died alongside his wife and her sister after an airplane he was piloting crashed off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard, Mass.
